Abstract
The Information Commons at the University of Calgary Library (1999) is a facility which provides both reference and technical support. Its successful service model is based on collaboration between the Library and University Information Technologies. The University is in the midst of planning for a new Library (Taylor Family Digital Library) which will house additional collaborative partners. The new Learning Commons will have a broader suite of services. The Learning Commons service model will build on the best of the Information Commons and bring new features which will further support learning and collaboration. This paper will focus on the current operations of the Commons (issues and opportunities), the features (physical and virtual) used to support learning and collaboration, and the lessons learned, as well as identify and discuss the current process of transition. Using the lessons learned, the presentation also points to possible future models of service in the new Learning Commons.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
